As of August 24th 2011, we no longer have permission to redistribute new
Java packages as Oracle has retired the “Operating System Distributor
License for Java” [1][2].

In accordance with our previous announcement [3][4], we will be removing
the Sun JDK packages from the partner archive on February 16th 2012.
In order to prevent unexpected failures, we will not be pushing out empty
packages before removing them from the archive.

The Sun JDK packages will remain installed on current systems with no
further security updates.

You are affected by this transition if you have any of the following packages installed from the Canonical Partner repository on Ubuntu Desktop or Server:

sun-java6-jre
sun-java6-bin
sun-java6-plugin
ia32-sun-java6-bin
ia32-sun-java6-plugin
sun-java6-fonts
sun-java6-jdk
sun-java6-demo
sun-java6-source
sun-java6-javadb
You can check if these packages are installed by looking at the output to the following command:
